Bobro or LaRue?

[Jon G23]

What are the feelings on these mounts? I know Larue has been around a long time and is battle proven.... how are the Bobro's? they appear to be very well made. Are the rated as highly as Larue or will that take awhile?

GTG?

[Derek_Connor]

Larue.

[d90king]

LaRue for me! They have never failed me and his service has always been excellent in my dealings with him.

[theJanitor]

I like Larue. they just flat out work. and secondly it's about risk vs. reward. you risk spending the money on a system that could perform worse than the LT, and your reward could be a system that works AS GOOD.

[Robb Jensen]

Bobro nicest best QD mounts I've ever used.

[markm]

Bobro because LaRue is a coo coo bird and calls me names. :p

LaRue Mount

Bobro mount

I ran the Bobro mount at the Magpul carbine class, worked great, no issues.
I ran the LaRue mount at another class, again no issues. When a buddy borrowed my LaRue and used it on a LMT upper, there was a small bit of wiggling.

On the Colt no issues. I like both, Mark and Andrew make very good products. The cost are close. Each have strong/weak points. Both have strong levers to clamp the mount onto M1913 rails. I still run both-tough choice. Good luck.

Has Bobro made a T1 mount yet?

[Biggy]

Yes Bobro has made or is finishing up their T1 mount but they did not say how long it would be before they released it for sale.

[GLOCKMASTER]

I haven't had an opportunity to use a Bobro mount however, I have used a lot of LaRue mounts. I have never had the first problem with the quality of any of the LaRue products I have ever used. They have always been rock solid.

LaRue Mount




Your mount's backwards ;)

Your mount's backwards ;)

Are you sure? Maybe he's a lefty and wants the throw lever on the outboard side. ;)

And to the OP's question, Bobro. Rock solid, repeatable mounts. No adjustment necessary
nor any means provided. Its simply not required. Bobro mounts auto compensate for rail
tolerances. Even weaver rail compatible ( if that matters to you ). Auto index, meaning the
mount auto locates in the direction of recoil in the t-slot. The bases can be reversed to
place the throw lever on either side of the weapon. Throw levers can also be reversed to
face either forward or rearward.

Not to mention stellar support from one heck of a nice guy.

BOBRO :cool:

HMMM...Yea, I'm pretty sure backwards is backwards whether done intentionally or not. ;)

not trying to hijack, but since the two companies are the topic of conversation...which VFG would you choose, Bobro or LaRue?

BOBRO SHORT Vertical Fore Grip w/ SACL :cool:

I've got two Larue mounts w/M3's. GTG so far. Larue has good CS. The Bobro came out after the above purchases and I haven't needed another mount till now. The Bobro looks solid and is gaining a good repuatation.

I just picked up a fire sale 6920 and I think a H/T 1 is going on it. If Bobro gets their mount out on the market by winter, I'll give them a try.

Either way, I think your headed in the right direction. Decision time.

[curriek]

Haven't owned any Bobro, but I have a couple Larue accessories on my AR. I don't think you can go wrong with either. Read great things about both. I bought a LT-129, was pleased with their service and product quality, and never thought to go with a different company.

FWIW most if not all people with no experience with Bobro prefer LaRue.....just sayin'.

[Mute]

Having used both, I now will only use Bobro. Nothing wrong with Larue, I just feel that the Bobro is a better product.

Does Bobro make a mount for M4/4S ?

[Robb Jensen]

Does Bobro make a mount for M4/4S ?

Yes it's called a Bobro BLAC mount.

You can mount the M4/S so that the lever is on the left or right side. It uses the factory supplied Aimpoint mounting screws and the spacer if you want the lower 1/3 co-witness.

I have both Bobro and Larue scope (SPR) mounts. Larue is rock solid and tight and is dedicated to my SPRish upper. One thing, Bobro, is easy to dismount and can be transferred from one rail to another without adjustment. I use my Bobro-mounted Weaver CE to do barrel accuracy grouping on a couple of my other uppers.

[Failure2Stop]

How does the Bobro do for stuffing a magnifier and BUIS behind the M4?

FWIW most if not all people with no experience with Bobro prefer LaRue.....just sayin'.

Same's true the other side of the coin, I suppose, so I won't fall into that trap.

I was recently trying to decide this same issue - wanted an M4s and also wanted to upgrade to a solid QD mount.

I went with the BOBRO after some public and private advice here and elsewhere. It took less than a minute for me to swap from the factory mount... piece of cake. It locked on solid. I'm pleased. For me, I think this was a great choice. Huge bonus that, although I doubt I'll ever swap, I had the versatility to try both absolute and lower 1/3 co-witness with the same mount to determine which I would actually prefer. I'd never used co-witnessed sights before - plenty of scopes, sure...

I won't say anything about comparison to the LaRue - don't know a damned thing about them first-hand. I will say, though, that the BOBRO has given me no reason to wonder, and if it proves to be as solid as it appears, color me happy. ;)

At some point, I am hoping to talk my wife into a T1 for hers, and, if she wants an aftermarket mount, I'm pretty sure which direction we'll be looking.

It can be a bit tight depending on the particular magnifier, magnifier mount and BUIS.
